I'm not sure which version I'll go with. I like that Gandalf cover and usually the 3D ones come with the 2D version. If thats the only way to get the digitial version I'll do that. I'm surprised they're not doing multiple covers to be honest.

I'm going to skip this one, too. Unless there's additional bonus features not being disclosed, it's not worth the price, IMO. All the vlogs are available online (unless they're planning to take them down?). Hopefully the EE has the same amount of behind-the-scenes material as the LOTR ones. I'll happily wait for that. There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall and the bells in the steeple, too. And up in the nursery an absurd little bird is popping out to say coo-coo (coo-coo, coo-coo).

I'd have preferred that Bilbo leaving Bag End teaser as the main cover.

Very odd that Beorn is on a cover as he wasn't in the film.

Bizarre. 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.' 'So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.'

...from months back (it even says "Artwork TBA"). It will not be used on any of the Blu-ray/DVD releases. Blu-ray.com just hasn't received the final art for the 1-disc version yet. "All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds awake to find that it was vanity; But the dreamers of day are dangerous men. That they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible."- T.E. Lawrence

I thought it said that artwork was final? 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.' 'So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.'

The new ones - the 2D cover with Bilbo, Thorin, Gandalf, and a few of the dwarves and the 3D cover with Gandalf are final covers.

But the Beorn cover for the single disc release is months old and not a final design. "All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds awake to find that it was vanity; But the dreamers of day are dangerous men. That they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible."- T.E. Lawrence

...for people that haven't seen them yet or for the collectors that want to own every media neatly packaged. As far as myself goes, they were awesome pre-release hype builders and i loved watching them but that's the past, i dunno if i'll ever watch them again. We'll get much more in-depth featurettes on the SEE that cover much of the same ground and more (at least i hope).

One of the reasons I wasn't wanting them to be on the blu-ray. They were shot and edited to build up to the film, not to look behind the scenes afterward. I mean, lots of stuff was blurred out because we weren't meant to have seen it at the time. I still think they're great and look forward to the ones for DoS and TABA, but I also want some real documentaries in the same vein as the LOTR ones.

Yeah, but it's not like the Lord of the Rings dvds were any different...

The theatrical editions for those films were the same - promotional material, trailers, etc. It wasn't until the extended cuts that we got more in-depth material. "All men dream; but not equally.

But then, I guess I'd rather have all the good stuff all in one package than to have to buy two copies of the same movie to get all the good bonus material, so it works out.
